@arushapot @MumbaMwa @kulijekuSuzyika When is the date for the event?

@EdwardMboyonga @MumbaMwa @kulijekuSuzyika So we are expecting the two of you te 😀. Shall l deliver two tickets ?

Can’t wait for this 🤩…. Nancy Handabile, I see you @arushapot 👏🏾👏🏾🤩

@briansimasiku Wow this great. I'm conducting research on philanthropy and higher education funding in Zambia. This news is good data for my research

As a scholarship recipient myself, I know the ripple effect it creates. Yo Maps’ 12 medical scholarships are more than financial support, they’re an investment in people who will serve, heal and lead our nation. A truly remarkable gesture. 👍🙏

@briansimasiku Academia can be wild indeed lol!

Directors, we arranged a 6-month visiting professorship for a colleague from Uganda 🇺🇬 at my former institution. Everything was official; a proper invitation, a contract, accommodation befitting his status and even a car with a driver. He moved into the apartment, and quietly checked out two days later 😭😂. In that short time, he had “married” someone he had just met and moved to her place in Kalingalinga. Ironically, the students gave excellent reviews; they found his lectures deeply enriching. The landlord, on the other hand, was worried we were still paying for an empty apartment and promptly brought it to my attention 😅. Academia can be wild, but never underestimate the speed of love ❤️🖤

@DianaTwinTwo You called it right Diana. I was wondering why he wasn't substituted kanshi coach naishiba bwino

He has delivered 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲, PD20 y'all 💃💃💃💃 Full-time: Mali 1-1 Zambia, don't write off Patson Daka! #Sportshypegurl #TotalEnergiesAFCON2025

@TheYoungFarmer This is amazing. Congratulations

I am deeply honored to share that I have been selected as one of only 13 scholars worldwide for the highly prestigious and competitive Nuffield International Scholarship 2026🇿🇲✨ This milestone builds directly on my Masters in agribusiness research and passion for agricultural transformation, and it represents a powerful next step in strengthening my expertise, leadership, and global leverage in shaping farmer-centered agricultural systems. Through this global program, I will travel across leading agricultural nations, engage with top researchers, industry leaders, policy experts, and innovators expanding my technical depth, strategic thinking, and international influence. My research will focus on: The Impact of Market Structures and Information Gaps on Smallholder Farmers’ Prices and Bargaining Power. This is more than research it is a mission to create fairer markets, stronger farmer bargaining power, informed decision-making, and improved livelihoods for smallholders in Zambia, Africa, and around the world. Honored. Empowered. Ready to turn knowledge into global impact. be

@mwenya_eric Muwineko zoona, chali kale!!

We get our first win of the season at Nkoloma today. Lez go 🚀.

@FMwenge We shall win

There’s no way Arsenal won’t win the league this season. I’m being honest. You can’t have this squad and not win the league.

@FMwenge Interesting qoute. This Napoleonic praise code has become a song in public offices. I remember attending a wedding ceremony, where the guest of honour a deputy P.S had to thank the republican president in his guidance speech to the newly wed couple.

“thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes!”...” ― George Orwell, Animal Farm

@FMwenge Well spoken, Felix.

Zambian universities, lecturers & students, please, research topics need not always be quantitative. Stop misleading each other🙄

@mininghistory Great. I'm in Lusaka at the moment. It would be nice to link up with you in case you come to Lsk.

@EdwardMboyonga The MUZ offices are in Kitwe. I think they are the only trade union that never relocated from the Copperbelt to Lusaka.

Presented a copy of my book to the Mineworkers' Union of Zambia today:

Mwisho, the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources has roundly rejected the controversial Lands and Deeds Registry Amendment Bill. This new bill pushed sweeping power for the Registrar of Lands to cancel land title deeds. Bill 13 is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation ever drafted in recent times. It was prone to political and personal abuse. And the first victims would have been those advancing it. Zambian farmers strongly rejected it. The lawyers opposed it. Civil society wants it gone. Land is sacred. Spineless and ignorant praise singers support this bill and accused me of spreading misinformation.

@MakaTounkara @Cambridge_Uni @UniofOxford @UnzaOfficial Congratulations Doc Maka

I am happy to share that I have graduated with a PhD in economics from @Cambridge_Uni. The journey hasn’t been easy, but the support of my family and friends made it bearable. I am also grateful to my lecturers @UniofOxford (MSc) and @UnzaOfficial (BA) for laying the foundation.

@eliasmunshya You haven't followed me your excellence

Please let me know if I haven’t followed you yet so that I do the needful.

Born in Rumbek, South Sudan 🇸🇸. Raised in Uganda 🇺🇬 since he was 2. Picked up interest in playing basketball after a boda boda man told him he was too tall for his age. Started playing at 14 & 4 years later, he is a top 10 NBA Draft 2025 pick. Wow! 🤯
